The First Immortal of Destiny

Of course, even if the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon pursued relentlessly, Shen Mo was ninety percent confident of ensuring his safe retreat!

Afterward, for several days, Shen Mo deliberately made a large detour to the southwest before returning to Dayu Mountain.

Qin Hu and other Immortal Masters of the Daoist temple knew Shen Mo went further east to seek a suitable Immortal Mountain and investigate recent events. Upon his return, they immediately flocked to the temporary mansion of the LiMountain Elixir Sect to inquire about what he had discovered.

Shen Mo didn’t have much to hide and told them everything about the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon.

"What should we do about it?"

Qin Hu and others were immediately worried upon learning of the matter.

Shen Mo, however, seemed unperturbed and reassured them, saying, "The mountain range where that evil dragon resides has many Immortal Mountains and is rich in various resources. In the short term, it shouldn’t be looking for a new habitat. Even if it wants to relocate, the Immortal Realm is vast, with countless Immortal Mountains for it to devour; it’s not necessarily coming to Dayu Mountain, so there’s no need to worry excessively!"

Hearing this, Qin Hu and others felt significantly relieved.

Even if they still had concerns, it was unavoidable unless a True Immortal protected them. After all, in the vast Immortal Realm, where could one find a place of absolute safety?

Moreover, when they ascended to the Immortal Realm, they had already placed their forbidden land in Dayu Mountain.

The forbidden land is different from cave paradises; if you want to relocate it, you must first push the forbidden land out of the Immortal Realm and then reenter this realm, choosing a place to settle;

But the firmament of the Immortal Realm is extremely vast, and its gravitational force is incredibly terrifying, beyond their cultivation level to propel!

Unless, Qin Hu and the Immortal Masters of the Daoist temple are willing to abandon the foundations they brought from the Primordial Realm’s Heaven Patrolling Zone and leave with the billions of immortal and mortal entities and possessions they can carry.

...

"What’s your plan for the days ahead, Senior Brother Qingyun?"

After discussing the matter of the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon, Lady Scarlet asked a question she was quite concerned about.

"I should stay in Dongjie Continent for a while, wander around to acquire some insights, and see if there’s an opportunity to break through the bottleneck. I’m not in a hurry to return to Phoenix Continent!"

"Oh..."

Lady Scarlet looked a bit downcast, as before, she had an excuse to stay at Jade Spring Mountain to occasionally see Shen Mo and chat to alleviate her longing.

Now that she’s returned to Dayu Mountain, leaving the LiMountain Elixir Sect behind doesn’t seem justifiable, since the LiMountain Elixir Sect was handed to her by her father Duanmu Yuan and patriarch Danchen Zi... With the Heaven Patrolling Temple overseeing, disappearing for ten or twenty years wasn’t a problem, but if she completely disregarded it, the LiMountain Elixir Sect would inevitably decline like the other three sects that lost their Divine Bridge Immortal Masters!

"Fellow Daoist, if you’re looking for opportunities, I happen to know a marvelous place to go!" Qin Hu suddenly spoke up, smiling as he said this.

Shen Mo looked at him with a curious gaze.

Then, Qin Hu took out a jade slip from a Storage Treasure and handed it to him, continuing, "A few years ago, a Divine Bridge Realm Immortal Master passed through Dayu Mountain. At that time, Fellow Daoist Duanmu hadn’t returned yet, and the five of us held a banquet to welcome this fellow Daoist. From him, we obtained a Perception Magic..."

"It’s said that this magic was imparted by a great figure of the Immortal Dao! Any cultivator above the Divine Bridge Realm, by sensing with this method, can enter a mysterious place called ’Dreamland’."

"In Dreamland, you can exchange information, cultivation insights, and even cultivation method and magic with other fellow daoists. Additionally, True Immortal figures appear in Dreamland, and if lucky enough, one might hear Immortal Preaching..."

Qin Hu explained, while the other four Immortal Masters of the Daoist temple displayed expressions as if saying "so it is."

The so-called "Perception Magic" and "Dreamland" were so marvelous that even Lady Scarlet listened with a swaying heart, eager to try it immediately!

Yet Shen Mo felt something odd, it sounded somewhat like a soul roaming the Heavens after cultivating [Transforming Dragon Curse].

He accepted the jade slip, his sense probing into it to read, while asking Qin Hu and others, "Have any of you fellow daoists ever entered Dreamland through this method?"

The other four Immortal Masters of the Daoist temple shook their heads, and Qin Hu showed an embarrassed look, stammering, "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Qingyun, we know our cultivation level is shallow, so we haven’t dared to easily try this Perception Magic after obtaining it..."

"Ahem!"

Shen Mo almost fainted from anger, instantly grasping Qin Hu and the others’ thoughts.

They feared potential risks after entering Dreamland with this Perception Magic, so they wanted someone else to verify it first, ensuring safety before attempting it themselves!

Lady Scarlet’s face instantly turned stern, fiercely scolding these "seniors"; perhaps knowing they’re in the wrong, Qin Hu and others covered their faces with their robe sleeves, not daring to retort.

"Never mind, Junior Sister Duanmu, Qin and the others didn’t deceive or coax me into going to Dreamland."

Seeing this, Shen Mo found it rather amusing and stopped Lady Scarlet from continuing her reprimand, allowing the five Immortal Masters of the Daoist temple of the same generation as Danchen Zi to breathe a sigh of relief, casting grateful glances at him.

"This method is quite profound; I need some time to study it calmly." Shen Mo rubbed his temples, uttering.

"Then we won’t disturb you anymore, eagerly awaiting good news from you..."

...

Over half a month later.

Shen Mo entered a heavily restricted chamber alone, preparing to attempt entering Dreamland.

During this period of contemplation, he discovered that although the Perception Magic shares similarities with [Transforming Dragon Curse], it does not involve elements related to cultivation, being a purely sensory method.

This way, the risk is minimized!

As for whether his soul roams freely in Dreamland spiritual domain might encounter unknown harm, it is still unclear, only testing will reveal.

Subsequently, he embedded the Destiny Disc with the Special Destinies[Danger Perception]and[Uncommon Victory], begun to apply the Perception Magic, muttering phrases: "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, like dew and lightning..."

In the increasingly ethereal chanting, Shen Mo felt his thoughts begin to elevate, and his mind became elusive, floating without support!

Uncertain how long it took, perhaps a mere instant, or as if years had passed, he suddenly discovered himself in a dreamlike world indescribable in words.

He could perceive his own existence, turning into a fleeting "consciousness," like a "soul" about to dissipate.

The "consciousness" body continuously emitted tiny "sparks" outward...

This wasn’t his soul but his consciousness reflecting in this dream world, where he couldn’t wield a shred of Immortal Dao Cultivation, Mana, or sense to cast magic and Skills, almost like even the Destiny Panel disappeared!

However, he could clearly perceive his real Soul Body located in the LiMountain Elixir Sect’s secret chamber, and the Destiny Panel had not truly disappeared.

It was as if his consciousness was divided into multiple parts, one in this dream world, another with the real body, and another at the Gecko False Body in the Green Cloud Cave!
